My Trip to the Kwik-E-Mart - Page 3

Here's where they're at: Manhattan, Bladensburg, Md., (outside Washington, D.C.); Orlando, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Henderson, Nev., Los Angeles and Burbank, Calif.; Mountain View, CA, (outside San Francisco) and Seattle. The 12th 7-Eleven Kwik-E-Mart is located in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

We'll be headed there this weekend, hopefully. I was just telling my boyfriend that there is one located in Burbank. Thank you, GC & lizziebith for sharing the whereabouts! My boyfriend's dad is a Seargant for Burbank PD and I was like, "call him! find out where it's located!!"

Now we don't have to bother dad while he's working, which would have been kind of rude to begin with.

I went to 7-11 2 weeks ago & when I went to the Suckie machine, I noticed that the cups were identical to the Squishee cups that they feature on The Simpsons. So cute!! Of course, I had to get my Suckie in the Squishee cup!

I'm an absolute, total Simpsons fanatic. Even my Avatar was featured on the Simpsons. It's a logo Homer wore on his tee-shirt while visiting Brazil. Hahaha!!

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? I doooooooo!

Special thanks to mousepod for giving the heads up about a Kwik-E-Mart in Mountain View. Since we would be driving through Mountain View on the 101, I knew we had to stop in and check it out.

Thanks for the photos GC! Now my son wants the comic book.

He has been begging to see this movie but I have only allowed him to watch 1-2 episodes. Actually I think we were across from DL and had no kid channels so I let him watch. Dad says "What's the harm in letting him see the movie?" I don't know yet.

Cadaverous Pallor · 07-02-2007, 11:53 AM

If he's watched 2 episodes, the movie will probably fly right over his head. Just a guess.

And if the reason you don't let him watch the TV show is the content then I suspect the movie is going to pretend at least the same problems and probably more. It is rated PG-13 so I imagine they've at least gone with language not allowed on Fox.

I think The Simpsons is probably one of the more benign shows on today- I've seen stronger content on the Disney Channel. Let him watch it- it won't warp him too much.

Alex · 07-02-2007, 12:20 PM

I don't know how it is I typed "pretend" when the word I meant is "have". Aphasia sucks.

I agree it is a benign show (hard to believe the ruckus it caused all those many years ago) and with the characters so firmly entrenched the movie probably doesn't go as far as they would have a decade ago but it probably won't be as benign as the show.

Well, I translated it to "present", so perhaps that's where your brain was going.
